Kali Majapahit in the Philippines
Guro Fred Evrard meeting the Filipino Council of Kali Eskrima Arnis Masters in Manila
|
February 2008, a meeting between the Fullcon Council of Martial Arts Masters of Baguio and Guro Fred Evrard, took place, to introduce Kali Majapahit in the Philippines, and to help promoting the practice of FMA worldwise.
After 3 hours of talk and demo, the Masters reaction is very positive. They want Guro Fred to come back to teach a seminar.
That was the first step. Few months later, Guro Fred came back to the Philippines to meet the "Philippines Council of Kali Eskrima Arnis Masters" in Manila, and then went back to Baguio to give a seminar to the Martial Arts community and to several military and police officers.
It was a 12 hours seminar, divided in 7 parts:
• Double sticks
• Single stick
• Knife
• Kadena de Mano
• Silat
• Traditional weapons (Kampilan, Barong, Kris, Karambit and Sarong)
• Panloob na Lakas (energy work)
